A Special Message to the Creative Arts Community

I've had a heavy heart as of late during this U.S. Presidential election. I wanted to take some time to share my plea to the leaders in the creative arts community.

Last week we had a special post-election "Breaking the Glass" bonus produced and largely recorded by breaking the glass co-producer Yolanda T. Cochran. The episode was bittersweet in that it was written and recorded before the election results, so there was a certain sense of hopefulness in Yolanda’s voice that we were on the verge of having our first woman president. So I recorded an epilogue to her episode to provide context. I also used that epilogue to address what I’ve seen going on in the photography and filmmaking communities. That part of the epilogue is what you’re about to hear.

So, if you listened to that entire "Breaking the Glass" episode, you don’t need to listen to this. But I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings with this industry that has meant so much to me for so long.

I think this message is self-explanatory. If it resonates with you, please share it.
